Hi guys would really appreciate feedback regarding my chances at some of these schools. Thank you in advance!

Research experience and productivity

Shadowing experience and specialties represented

Anything else not listed you think might be important
-LOR from 2 science professors (1 is PI that taught me in a classroom course, other from my major department), 1 from Clinical Volunteer Experience, 1 from advisor from work organization mentioned earlier

-Omega Chi Epsilon Honor Society

I am having a hard time finalizing a list of schools (mainly due unbalanced MCAT/gpa scores), so I have a preliminary long list. So far my preliminary list feels very top heavy (also very long) so any eliminations or additions are appreciated.
